PREPARATION:

Step 1

Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, then add the taco seasoning and follow the package instructions for mixing. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the salad base: In a large serving bowl, layer the shredded iceberg lettuce as the base. This will serve as the foundation for the taco salad.

Step 3

Build the layers:

On top of the lettuce, add the seasoned ground beef, cherry tomatoes, canned corn kernels, canned black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, crushed Doritos, sliced black olives, diced red onion, diced bell peppers, diced avocado. Arrange the ingredients evenly to create a visually appealing salad.

Step 4.

Dress the salad: In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and salsa to create a creamy dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, distributing it evenly.

Step 5.

Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro over the salad for a burst of flavor and color. Serve the Dorito Taco Salad immediately, accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing over the salad just before eating.
